you guys sound like hitler and to the other guy your right i havent taken any anthropology courses, ive been thinking about anthropology for college in a few years, but for now im only 14, anyways, your right, my thoughts here are very unorganized, i never have the time, or the patience to sit down and put it all together properly, and what i said about it being less violent to live tribally, that was a misstatement, what i meant was that they fight, but you don't see wars like in or culture, daniel quinn draws it out nicely in ishmael about how most tribes play a metaphorical game, called erratic retaliotor, the rules are give as good as you get, but don't be too predictable, this means when somebody attacks you you attack back, but sometimes you just attack to be unpredictable, its like constant low level warfare. the reason our lifestyle caught on wasnt because it was easier or more enjoyable, but because the people in it had decided that it was 'the' right way to live, and because our lifestyle creates food surpluses we had unlimited resources to fight the tribal people, so we decided to play 'ANIALATOR' (shit spelling) if a regular tribe decides to play anialator its no big deal, the rest of the tibes get to gether and play anialator untill that tribe is gone, but when your playing anialator against a tribe with unlimited resources, you lose.
the point i was trying to convey by saying that it was less violent was that it is for the most part more fulfilling, and produces happier people that feel purposefull
